Emeril's Truffled Fondue
YIELD 1 quart
INGREDIENTS
| 2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
| 4 ounces | fresh mushrooms, finely chopped |
| 2 tablespoons | minced shallots |
| 1 cup | dry white wine |
| 3/4 to 1 pound | Fontina d'Aosta or Sottocenere, rind removed and cut into small cubes (about 3 cups) |
| 1/2 pound | Tome, imported or domestic, rind removed and cut into small cubes (about 1 1/2 cups) |
| 1 tablespoon | cornstarch |
| 2 to 4 ounces | Truffled Pecorino Romano or Mountaineer, grated |
| 1 tablespoon | black or white truffle oil |
| Salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| Possible Dipping Items | |
| Crusty French or Italian bread, cut into cubes | |
| Cooked shrimp, peeled and de-veined | |
| Cooked lobster, cut into bite-sized pieces | |
| Cooked baby artichokes | |
| Blanched asparagus spears | |
| Raw fennel batons | |
| Whole button mushrooms, raw or sauteed | |
| Boiled new potatoes | |
| Boiled ziti, rotini, or fusilli | |
PREPARATION:
- In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and most of their liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed fontina and tome with the cornstarch and toss to mix well. Add the cheese-cornstarch mixture to the saucepan in 3 additions, stirring constantly and adding more cheese only as the previous batch has completely melted. Stir in the grated Truffled Pecorino Romano and drizzle in the truffle oil and allow the fondue to come to a bare simmer but do not allow to boil. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a fondue pot for serving.
- Serve, with dipping items of choice, attractively arranged in separate bowls.
